The DN-HD2500 rack mount MEDIA player is equipped with a variety of advanced features, functions and rich performance for unlimited creativeness and showmanship. Features and Functions 1. Internal 40 GB HDD The DN-HD2500 includes an internal 40 GB HDD, large enough to store thousands of your most popular requested music. This compelling utility allows the DNHD2500 to be used as your new primary "plug and play" full featured compact system. Additionally, the DN-HD2500 can be used as a backup system for those DJ's currently using laptops. 2. External USB Device Support Got a portable music collection stored on external USB media? No problem the DN-HD2500 can support multiple external USB mass storage class devices direct or via a USB 2.0 hub (sold separately). Connect your, iPod®, Jump Drive, and large USB Hard Drives for easy access to your small or extensive MP3/WAV libraries. Simply plug these devices into the DN-HD2500 to obtain the powerful on-board features such as, Instant Start, Seamless Looping, Scratching and File Searching, just to name a few. *Up to 4 storage devices can be connected at once. 3. DN-D4500/DN-D4000 Drive Support The DN-D4000 and its successor, DN-D4500 are two of the most popular dual CD/MP3 players in the world, which is why the drive transport section was chosen to be supported natively by the DN-HD2500. Existing owners of these two CD/MP3 players can easily upgrade to the DN-HD2500, which will act as your new controller and media center. CD Media, Internal HDD and External devices are all conveniently available at your fingertips. 4. Keyboard Support The DN-HD2500 will support any standard USB keyboard for simplified song search of Artist, Album, Title, Genre, Year, BPM and Playlists. 5. SCRATCH The JOG disc construction consists of clear JOG disc, slip sheet to ensure the same feeling and performance as found in an analog turntable. 6. MP3/WAV PLAY BACK It is possible to play MP3 files created in the specified format found on page 24. Files can be searched for easily either manually, or by scanning or using a number of file search functions (Artist, Album, Title, Genre, Year, BPM, File Name) 7. NEXT FILE RESERVE The next file can be selected while continuing to play the current file for a seamless transition. 8. Cross Fade In conjunction with the Next File feature, the DNHD2500 can perform a smooth internal cross fade when transitioning to the new file. 9. HOT START and STUTTER The Hot Start function lets you start playback immediately from a set point decided by you. Up to two points can be set using the A1 and A2 buttons. The loaded Hot Starts can also be used to "Stutter" those same points. When in Stutter mode, momentary audio is triggered according to the length of time of which these buttons are held down and released. 10. SEAMLESS LOOP With this function, any section on a file or playlist can be played repeatedly between A & B points with no break in sound or limit in length. The DN-HD2500 has a variety of looping options such as Exit. Reloop and dual looping. 11. A/B TRIM The A or B points for the Seamless Loop can easily be adjusted using the JOG disc. Adjustments can be made in real-time while playing the live loop. 12. AUTO BPM COUNTER, BPM LOCK, MANUAL TAP, and MANUAL BPM INPUT In addition to the Auto BPM counter and Manual Tap function, the DN-HD2500 is also equipped with a Lock function for temporarily locking the Auto BPM counter. A Manual BPM Input function is available too for inputting the known BPM value directly by a Rotary knob, so the BPM setting can be made easily. 13. ON BOARD EFFECT'S Six types of effectors are included. ECHO/LOOP: The ECHO and LOOP functions can be selected. Looping for the feedback time (ECHO LOOP) is possible by setting the feedback number to "MAX". FLANGER: The feedback time and feedback gain can be selected. FILTER: One of three filters (LOW PASS, MID PASS and HIGH PASS) can be selected and Individually adjusted. 14. PLATTER MODE Analog turntable-like playback can be simulated using three Platter effects. DUMP: Plays the sound backwards while continuing in a forward motion without losing "elapse time" when you return back to normal play. (Like a radio edit) BRAKE: Simulates a winding-down sound of a turntable coming to a full stop slowly. (Slowing-down time can be adjusted.) REVERSE:(Reverse) Plays the sound backwards until you return to normal play. 15. MEMO Cue point, BPM, Pitch Setting & Range, Pitch ON/OFF, Key Adjust ON/OFF, and Seamless Loop A and B data can be stored directly to the file for later recall. 16. PITCH/KEY ADJUST PITCH: Playback speed is adjusted with PITCH slider. Adjustable pitch ranges are +/- 4, 10, 16, 24, 50, 100 % (selectable live). KEY ADJUST: Keeps the original key even if the pitch playing speed is changed with the PITCH slider. 17. DIGITAL OUT The digital output for Main provides a true 100 % digital signal without any restrictions or limitations regardless of pitch change or mode setting. 18. FADER START The DN-HD2500 FADER START controls are compatible with our DN-X500, DN-X900 or DNX1500S mixers. 19. PRESETS It is possible to customise the machine to your preference by saving your favourite setting to internal memory. For items found in the presets, please see page 23. 20.
